🔒 Your Privacy

You deserve a straight answer — not a wall of legal text. Here is exactly how SafetyBuddy.info protects your information, where the real risks live, and why you are always in control.

📋 What SafetyBuddy.info Is — Plain and Simple

SafetyBuddy.info is a personal health organization tool for responsible people to use freely at no cost. Features are provided at no cost up to the limit of free tier availability from third-party services with free tiers. Free use will be automatically suspended when limits are reached. Most features reset daily, allowing ongoing free use subject to availability.

Your usage of all features is electronically metered on your private control panel, which requires two-step login. The control panel will indicate approaching limits for your use.

Staff do not review your content. Data streaming is monitored on a flow and quantity basis automatically by software, privately behind your login. AI usage is likewise automatically and privately monitored on a streaming flow and bit-count basis.

Anonymous page visits are counted so we can tell whether pages are being used. We log only the URL of the page, when the visit happened, and whether it lasted longer than one minute. We do not log your IP address, browser, location, identity, or any content.

All AI output is provided in plain language and will never constitute medical advice or diagnosis. Some AI features provide definitions for technical terms for reference clarity. You are required to agree to professional verification of any and all AI-generated definitions, in acknowledgment of known AI limitations.

You control your sharing of any data you input or create using AI, within the limits described in this policy.

AI outputs on this platform are for informational purposes only and are not substitutes for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. AI may produce inaccurate results. Not FDA-approved. Always consult your care team before acting on any AI-generated content.

What SafetyBuddy.info Is Not

  • A HIPAA-Covered Entity at the Free or PRO tier. (Note: PRO MAX+ subscribers do receive a Business Associate Agreement — see pricing for details.)
  • A medical records system
  • A substitute for your care team

How We Handle Access

Access to your data is restricted, logged, and limited to the minimum necessary. Exceptions are made only for support, security, or legal reasons — and only where prior notice to you is not feasible. Every practical effort is made to gain your permission first.

SafetyBuddy is built to HIPAA security standards. You have the right to access, correct, or delete your data at any time. California residents and users in other states may have additional rights under CCPA and applicable state privacy laws. See full policy for details.

🏗️ Built on Trusted Infrastructure

SafetyBuddy.info is built on a combination of industry-leading platforms — Google Cloud, Firebase, and Gemini AI for authentication, data storage, and PRO MAX+ AI features, and Groq for the high-speed AI features available on the Free and PRO tiers. Both providers operate enterprise-grade infrastructure trusted by hospitals, financial institutions, and governments worldwide.

Your data travels over encrypted connections using standard internet security protocols — protected in transit and at rest regardless of which provider is handling your request.

⚖️ What SafetyBuddy.info Is — And Is Not

SafetyBuddy.info is a user-controlled platform, similar to how YouTube hosts videos. We provide the secure space and the tools. You decide what goes in, who sees it, and when it leaves.

SafetyBuddy.info is not a HIPAA Covered Entity or Business Associate at the Free or PRO tier. This is an important distinction — and an honest one. HIPAA governs hospitals, clinics, and insurers. It does not govern platforms where you choose to store and share your own records.

💡 Think of it this way: When you upload a document to Google Drive or send a photo to a family member, you are exercising personal control over your own data. SafetyBuddy.info works the same way — you are the driver, we provide the vehicle.

🏥 The HIPAA Reality Nobody Tells You

HIPAA is a powerful law — but it has a fundamental limitation: it relies on the integrity of millions of people inside healthcare organizations who handle your records every day.

Those people — billing clerks, IT staff, contractors, administrators — typically sign a confidentiality agreement. They do not hold security clearances. They are not vetted the way a government intelligence officer is vetted.

⚠️ The honest truth: The biggest risk to your health data is not a sophisticated hacker — it is the human chain of people inside regulated organizations who already have access to it. SafetyBuddy.info was built precisely because you should have a copy in your own hands.

🎛️ Your Control — Always

On SafetyBuddy.info, control never leaves your hands:

  • You choose what data to store
  • You decide who to share it with — and for how long
  • You can modify or delete anything, at any time
  • My Cloud (your document vault) is never shareable — it is private by design, no exceptions.
  • All other sections share only when you choose to share them
💡 One automated exception: If you submit a public User Story (thumbs up/down feedback), our AI-powered filter scans it for vulgarity or misuse. That is the only time AI reads your content — and only for public submissions you initiate.

You may access, correct, export, or permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time — no questions asked. Exceptions apply only for legally required retention or active security investigations. Under CCPA and applicable state laws, you also have the right to opt out of data sharing. We do not sell your data.

🌐 No System Is Perfect — And We Won't Pretend Otherwise

Sophisticated cyberattacks are a reality for every online platform — from the largest banks to the smallest startups. We apply every practical layer of protection available. But we will never tell you that any system is 100% immune.

What we can tell you is this: the combination of Google Cloud and Groq infrastructure, your personal control over sharing, and your awareness of where real risks live makes SafetyBuddy.info one of the most transparent health tools available.

⚙️ Evolving Technology — Our Commitment to You

SafetyBuddy.info is built on today's most capable and proven technology — across its pages, AI features, and underlying code. The technology powering these features is rapidly evolving, expanding in capability and security with every passing month.

SafetyBuddy.info reserves the right to change suppliers, platforms, and features as technology advances — independent of the specific providers in place at the time of your onboarding. We are not locked to any single vendor. We are locked to performance, security, and your experience.

💡 What "evolving technology" means in practice: The AI engine answering your questions today may be a different provider tomorrow — if that provider delivers better accuracy, stronger privacy, or lower cost to keep features free. The experience you rely on stays consistent. The engine underneath improves.

Our Three Commitments When Things Change

  • Performance without compromise — Changes are only made when they improve feature performance without reducing security or privacy protections already in place.
  • Advance notice whenever possible — When significant changes are anticipated, SafetyBuddy.info will notify you as soon as practical. When urgent changes are required on short notice, we will advise you at the earliest opportunity after the fact.
  • Month-to-month only — always — SafetyBuddy.info does not offer or accept annual agreements. Every subscription is strictly month-to-month. If a platform change does not work for you, you are never locked in. Cancel anytime, no penalty, no questions.
